kanzure"The technique works by using a multilayered film that includes a layer of graphite topped with a glass cover sheet. Exposing this layered structure to an ultrafast-pulsing laser instantly converts the graphite to an ionized plasma and creates a downward pressure. Then the graphite plasma quickly solidifies into diamond. The glass sheet confines the plasma to keep it from escaping, allowing it to form a nanodiamond coating.14:11

nmz787kanzure: what wavelength?14:13
nmz787kanzure: I've seen papers that convert graphite to graphene I think14:13
kanzurenot sure what wavelength14:14
kanzure"t is noteworthy that due to the local high dense confined plasma created by transparent confinement layer, nanodiamond has been formed at laser intensity as low as 3.7 GW/cm2, which corresponds to pressure of 4.4 GPa, much lower than the pressure needed to transform graphite to diamond traditionally.14:14

nmz787"The conversion efficiency depends on the laser intensity, repetition rate and wavelength. With higher laser intensity, the ionized carbon atoms accumulate higher kinetic energy and thus can be converted into higher percentage of nanodiamond. With shorter wavelength, e.g. deep UV laser, higher energy the photons will carry to interact with graphite, resulting in higher kinetic energy of carbon atoms. In terms of processing speed, if ...14:15
nmz787... equipped with high power diode pump solid state (DPSS) laser with frequency of 50–100 kHz and a beam scanner, CPLD can generate nanodiamond thin films under ambient conditions with commercial scale."14:15
kanzurepatterned thin films would seem to be far more important if that's what they have there14:17
kanzurebut they don't mention patterning really14:17
nmz787"The laser intensity used in the present experiment was comparatively lower (>3.7GW/cm^2) than the Nagel criterion threshold which is 50 GW/cm^2 for laser having wavelength of 1064 nm. Yet, we have clear evidence of nanodiamond formation.""14:17

nmz787"To characterize the HRTEM images with Titan 80–300 KV Environmental Electron Microscope, the sample was prepared by dispersing the produced nanodiamonds into toluene, then dip coating onto formvar TEM grid, finally soft baking to drive out the solvent. The sheet resistances were measured on a Jandel RM3-AR four point probing system"14:21

chris_99heh15:04
nmz787anyone in here have kicad and can try this on their machine for errors? https://github.com/nmz787/rs232-sniffer15:14
paskychris_99: i don't get that instructable - it's basically just about building a platform, but what about the sensing equipment itself?15:14
paskyaiui it uses components from a dvd rom but has no details how to wire them up and get pictures from the whole thing15:15
chris_99yeah i'm not sure tbh, i'm just reading http://www.eng.utah.edu/~lzang/images/Lecture_10_AFM.pdf atm, as i don't know much about AFM15:15
nmz787pasky: most likely you need a microcontroller with a DAC and ADC15:17
chris_99so i'm somewhat confused, the piezos are somehow used to move the object being scanned? or are they for sensing15:17
nmz787pasky: this $20 dev board or $100 LabTool device would probably suffice http://www.lpcware.com/content/project/application-example-using-lpc4370-and-labtool-hardware15:18
nmz787(the labtool has the analog front-ends while the dev board would need those built)15:18
nmz787I think the idea is you move with the piezos, but also pulse the whole unit to get tapping... or maybe the tapper is a separate control15:19
nmz787and then you sense the back-EMF or something15:19
nmz787like motor speed control15:19
chris_99so hmm, the piezos create tiny vibrations, which shuffle the sample?15:19
nmz787but instead you'd use the back EMF as the Z in your image15:20
nmz787Z/intensity15:20
kanzureusually you don't shuffle the sample, you just move it relative to your tip15:20
kanzurethe piezos create physical movement ("vibrations")15:21
chris_99yeah i meant the piezos did the shuffling15:21
paskyhmm what's the cantilever in this setup?15:22
pasky(from the presentation chris_99 linked)15:22
nmz787even the labtool may need a decent op-amp for buffering, but I honestly don't know the power requirements15:22
kanzure"shuffling: move (people or things) around so as to occupy different positions or to be in a different order."15:22

kanzurenot quite... by applying a current to a piezo you can tilt and move surfaces15:22

-!- Zinglon [~Zinglon@D549A77D.cm-10-1a.dynamic.ziggo.nl] has joined ##hplusroadmap15:23
nmz787(for input conditioning if anything you might need a nice sense resistor)15:23
nmz787like here https://github.com/securelyfitz/FitzSPA15:24
chris_99why is that instructable one, 1000$, is it the actual CNCing the platform that's costly15:26
-!- pete4242 [~smuxi@boole.london.hackspace.org.uk] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]15:28
paskyoh i see the cantilever is the "AFM probe" they briefly mention15:29
paskyand you are supposed to just buy that15:29
chris_99oh that's somewhat dissapointing15:29
chris_99unless that's cheap15:30
paskyi wondered because these super-sharp diamond tips seemed like the most difficult part :)15:30
nmz787oh, I was wrong about the back-EMF (though that idea is probably used somewhere)... but in that case you use the photodiode from the DVD player/writer15:30
paskyi wonder15:30
chris_99oh pasky just the probe itself, not the laser stuff?15:30
nmz787the probes are expensive15:30
chris_99ah, maybe that's why its costly then15:30
nmz787but beam-deflection AFM probes are some of the cheapest15:31
paskycan't find separate probes on ebay15:33
paskywhat ballpark price range are we talking about?15:33
chris_99i found someone on alibaba that sells, but no price15:33
nmz787so this one has 4 piezos for XY, and one for Z it seems15:33
nmz787the cost depends mainly on the size of the probe15:34
chris_99http://www.spmtips.com/afm-tip-hires-c15-cr-au   so i've no idea what i selected, but 400 euro15:35
chris_99for 5 chips15:35
-!- Beatzebub_ [~beatzebub@S0106b81619e8ecee.gv.shawcable.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap15:36
paskychris_99: so as far as i understand the design, you use piezos to move the sample in x/y planes and to oscillate the probe 400khz in z plane; you use the dvd gear to detect tiny differences in probe position (in down position i suppose) fast enough, and build the images from collected samples of probe z positions15:36
chris_99yeah the dvd laser is to reflect off the cantilever right?15:36
paskyaiui yes15:36
nmz787not the dvd gear15:37
nmz787the tip as it vibrates will have an average position15:37
nmz787a laser reflects from the tip to enter the DVD sensor (OPU)15:38
nmz787there is a few photodiodes in there15:38
paskyyes but the laser is also from the dvd15:38
chris_99OPU?15:38
nmz787and you can sense how far away from the center the beam is deflected15:38
nmz787optical pickup unit15:38
chris_99ah15:38
nmz787so as the tip deflects from the average position being at center15:38
nmz787you track that difference and call it image intensity at that X/Y coord15:39
kanzurelaser reflects not from the tip but from the cantilever15:39
kanzurecantilever has some deflection/bend amount15:39
nmz787ah, yeah15:39
kanzurealso i don't recall if it must be a laser15:39

chris_99so the amplitude in the photodector is what you essentially record?15:40
nmz787either amplitude of the output or some function of the three (I think) photodiodes in the OPU15:41
nmz787so you can determine which side it was deflected toward15:41
nmz787or maybe there are 5 photodiodes15:41

We demonstrate that, even when the speech includes no instructions to imagine anything, and even ...22:13
